Is there anyone using this hardware for VHS or Beta captures? Seems the original project itself is very targeted, and I'm having difficulty searching up different uses of the project. I'd considering purchasing one to do high quality VHS transfer, but I'd want a community I could turn to with problems.

One of the committers have submitted VHS patches, so there is a community of one so far. :-)

Currently it can decode to black and white I think.

I am very interested also. I bought a high end consumer JVC deck unopened in box, just for this purpose in the future. But the thing is, only the mechanical transfer needs to be good, and the heads OK, the rest of the machine need not be high end at all. It really has the potential to get better VHS rips than any pro lab today in existence can achieve.
